Even on that campus they look big. No way will HP allow one of those things on the SMU campus. It would take something like Ford to get approval, where it is put below ground level.
Again, we own plenty of land outside the park cities. It's not ideal to have it away from the other practice field, but we could put a giant one on that old movie theater land on Yale.
Yeah but then you're busing back and forth to the locker room.

You couldn't help but see it when you drove down 75. Good advertising.
List the home game dates on the side.
The Mrs. Bairds property will be residence halls within 10 years. This information is straight from President Turner's mouth in late April.
Who says it can't be for residence halls AND a practice dome? There's a ton of land over there. The Baird plant wasn't (isn't) exactly tiny.

You could put it where the La Madelaine and the Bookstore are. But maybe they decide to put a soccer stadium there and raze Wescott..... putting a the dome in it's place. That would be if they didn't want to leave the soccer team without a home for a year by razing Wescott to build a new soccer stadium in it's place.
I am of course speaking out of turn on this one, but I think after Moody, the facilities our top ranked "football" team needs to be addressed. Seriously, that thing needs to be razed/be given MAJOR improvements.
